That would be great Pat. It would be nice to be able to mount them if you wanted and not have to use the tubes of your bumper to attache a rope to if you needed to pull someone. but I like the lines of the bumper w/o the tow hooks now that I don't have them on there.. lol

Yea I prefer not to have them but some might want that option to put them back on. I think it would look funny. And if you did happen to slam the front into dirt those hooks would grab and might do more damage then you want.

Also ill be looking into the whole lower bumper piece this weekend. I'm gonna see if I can make some sort of support bar for it but ill keep you guys posted on that as well!

The tow hook holes in the bumper had to be elongated with a die grinder quite a bit, then one hole had to be popped in the frame on each side to make it work. Wasn't a big deal but kinda surprised they were that far off. I almost started to wonder if the holes were intended for the tow hooks or not. It doesn't look as nice with the tow hooks on, but the driver side saved my ass big time the very next day after I installed it. It's also 4 more bolts holding the bumper to the frame. So I guess they can stay.

I thought RPG was coming up with a piece to hold the valence. I might wait for them or build my own. Mine isn't sagging yet.

Yea I've talked to Corey about it some he said they've been playing with some ideas but they've been swamped lately and haven't really done anything with it. So until Chris Ross's truck is done Corey is gonna be pretty busy haha
